  1. Hi, Doreen! In my experience with my husband (who died 3 months ago), when he reached the point of not eating and almost not drinking -and I tend to agree on the fact that it's a decision they make of giving up a life that is no LIFE at all, and who

  3. Consideration of what meds your mom will be given is of major concern, including anaesthetic. I desperately hope she has an LBD friendly doctor controlling her care! All the best to you both as you head into this worrisome time for her. And so clo

  5. Gladys, We are in Aberdeen, in northern Monmouth County. We're " over the bridge " on the Parkway, so people consider us down the shore, but we don't think so. I don't believe you're down the shore unless you can smell the salt air and walk to the

  7. Hi , Thank you, but I cry a plenty, so I'm not so good at all. I muddle through each day, and get up and try again. I do know how to pull up my boot straps and say charge! No, not quite, but I do keep pulling it all together, as I love life. My d

  8. By the way, I in no way meant to insinuate that you were not, or are not, grieving. The thought just occurred to me that I may have sound insensitive. It is quite the opposite, I admire you for being the strong woman and daughter that you are. Humbl

  11. Deb, I now realize you are looking for an answer other than LBD. Both my mom and I suffer(ed) from degenerative disk in the lower back. I also have a slight scoliosis in the same area. I have thought of that as a cause of the neuropathy. My proble

  12. Hi Lorraine, Absolutely. All medication cautions (especially neuroleptics and anticholinergics) and medication positives (eg, AChEIs can really help) apply to PDD and LBD equally. They are on the same spectrum of diseases. I don't know why callin

  13. My father is on Seroquel, Trazodone, and Celexa. I'm wondering if the Trazodone is a problem. The doctor took him off Galantamine because he thought that it was the cause of my father's aggression. He started receiving regular (daily) doses of Seroq

  17. Dino - I have a list of LBD-Savvy doctors if interested. Would San Francisco or Sacramento be more convenient? You could still see a Movement Disorder specialist - b/c in essence LBD is a movement disorder as well as a memory disorder... So a doctor

  18. Sherry, is your Mom allowing someone to bathe her? That was the issue wasn't it? I sure do hate seeing you having to handle this when you're having such a problem with your own health. Love a lot, Imogene In a message dated 12/14/2008 9:56:41 PM

  24. Imogene, you are an example of how to be positive in the face of so many negatives. We have to take joy in the little things that others not in our situation would take for granted. I'm trying to get hubby to see things that way, but it's so hard for
